Q

Galvanotaxis Maturation phase consists of

A
myofibroblast-pos
keratinocytes-pos
epidermal cells-neg
wound contraciton
epitheliazation
17
Q

Human battery pos vs neg

A

outside=neg
inside=positive

switches with injury

18
Q

Protocol 1

A

cathode to site for 1-5 days

19
Q

Protocol 2

A

cathode- ecoli

anode-aueras

20
Q

Protocol 3

A

anode-attract macrophages/neutrophils for autolysis/phagocytosis

cathode- attracts fibroblast/myofibroblast for wound contraction/epitheliazation, granulation

21
Q

Protocol 4

A

cathode- liquefy/soften tissue, soluble

anode- stimulate epetheliazation

22
Q

Cathode- neg effects and its Galvanotaxis cells

A

increase blood flow
increased growth of granulation
epidermal cell migration
anti microbial

Galvanotaxis:fibroblast, neutrophisl, platelets, lymphocytes, mast cells, keratinocytes

23
Q

Anode- pos effects and its Galvanotaxis cells

A

decrease blood flow
vasoconstriction
decrease mast cells during tissue healing
growth/re-organization of epithelial cells
anti microbial

Galvanotaxis: macrophages, neurtrophils inactivated, epidermal cells

24
Q

Neg pole theory

A

repel negatively charged serum proteins
decrease microvessel diameter
decrease pore size

25
Q

Voluntary contraction vs. E-stim contraction

A

voluntary
small slow MU recruited first
asynchronous MU recruited

E-stim
large fast MU recruited first
fast fatigue muscle, requires more rest time
synchronous MU recruitment

26
Q

Factors affecting Force-Frequency

A

mm length
mm temperature
fatigue state
degree of potentiation

27
Q

E-stim required for twitch, contration, tetanus

A

follows arndt schultz law, must be strong/long/rise enough

low freq=1-2 stim per second for twitch
med freq=15 pps for contraction
>30 for tetanus

28
Q

Strength MVIC Training

A

to strength train healthy mm via e-stim, must stim at 50% of MVIC

to strengthen injuried mm via e-stim, must stim at 10% of MVIC

29
Q

Overload Theory

A

larger load placed on a muscle, the muscle will produce a greater contraction =strength will increase more than if smaller load on muscle

30
Q

Specificity Theory

A

should produce greater strength gains than exercise alone at same contraction force

31
Q

E-stim can also do this to Innervated muscles

A

high frequency e stim increases blood flow back to heart in healthy/pt

reduces stress incontinence

32
Q

E-stim on denervated muscles

A

DC current stims the mm membrane NOT the nerve/neuron

> 10ms of pulse duration=contraction

use with caution, may retard motor nerve regeneration

33
Q

Contraindications of Russian Currents

A

anterior c-spine
trans cranial region
trans thoracic region
abdominal/lumbar of pregnant women

hemorrhaging area
neoplasm
decreased sensation in area
electrical/metal implants
